Village Council approves plans for the Park District Family Recreation Center and Park!

At the April 24, 2017 meeting, the Village Council of Forest Park approved the Park District’s plans to develop the former Roos Property into a Family Recreation Center and Park. The Park District Board of Commissioners thanks the Village of Forest Park for their support of this project. The first step of the project will be to remove the remaining foundation that is left from the former Roos Building and to to excavate the soil currently on the site. As we prepare for construction at 7329 W. Harrison Street, please check back here for updates on the construction progress!

ABOUT THE PARK DISTRICT

While the village has undoubtedly changed in the 85 plus years since the park district was formed, the staff and board of commissioners still remain committed to providing the community with a beautiful park, modern facilities and quality programming. The Park District of Forest Park was established by referendum and was entered into the records officially on November 14, 1934.

The Park District provides a variety of leisure activities for people of all ages throughout the year.

Park District facilities include an Administrative Building, the Roos Recreation Center, Baseball/Softball Fields (3), Batting Cages (2), Bocce Ball Courts (2), Day Camp Building, In-Line Skating Rink (Outdoor), Maintenance Garage, Outdoor Aquatic Center, Outdoor Sand Volleyball Courts (2), Playground, Soccer Field (Outdoor), Skate Park, Tennis Courts and NFC Fitness Court.

The Park District of Forest Park has cooperative agreements with local School District 91 for joint use of facilities and is a member of the West Suburban Special Recreation Association (WSSRA), an organization that provides year round programming and services for our residents with special needs.

In 2019, the Park District of Forest Park celebrated 85 years of service to the residents of Forest Park. For more information about the Park District of Forest Park, give us a call at 708-366-7500 or visit us on Social Media!
